LH CRF 264 Win Mag

[LES7]

Hello everyone.
Im looking for preferably a post 64 Winchester model 70 LH CRF in 264 mag. I do have a line on a couple donor actions (to re-barrel) guns. But thought I’d throw it on here see what’s out there. Thanks

Good luck! Being a gun nut is hard on us lefties.

LES7, take a look at Zastava, maybe not as pretty as some but very functional.

Zastavas are built like tanks and extremely functional.

I’ve had some luck recently on a couple 375 H&H’s, a 416 rem mag, and a 458 Lott. so I thought I’d try keep my luck going

Picked up a 375 H&H zastava couple weeks ago and I love it. Might have to buy another for a economical donor action.

I bought up a bunch of LH New Haven M70s a few years ago before prices went nuts and used them for project guns. Never ran across any 264's but I do have one left in 7 Rem Mag that I cant decide to build or sell. I need another project rifle like another hole in my head.

I just picked up a 7mm (or Id be interested if you were selling) & a 375 h&h. gotta do a little research on which one would be better to rebarrel into 264. the guy that sold me the 375 said he was pretty sure they never made the new haven leftys in 264? only way would have been out of the custom shop?

I would 100% rebarrel the 7 Mag over the 375. There are so few lefty CRF 375s remaining and they run the full 3.6” mag box with the wider opening on the rear bridge for ejection. The SAAMI 264 will fit in the 3.4” 7 Mag mag box and probably feed relatively easy.

I almost built a 264 but opted to go 280 Ackley and love it.

Beautiful rifle! And I agree w/ you on the 7 mag rebarrel.

Use the 7 mag. Pretty much just have to screw the 7 barrel off and put a .264 on.

That's a dandy rifle! I have a LH Model 70 in Aaron Little's shop right now being worked over and re-stocked,,, in 280 AI. Really looking forward to that rifle.

Other than the bolt and cheek piece being on the wrong side, it is a lovely looking rifle.
